Choose where to place the page numbers.

If you want your page numbers on the bottom of the page, choose the Bottom of Page option. The page numbers are placed into the document’s header or footer, so you don’t see them on the screen unless you’re using Word in Print Layout view. But just know that even when you work in Draft view, the page numbers are still there.
